abstract = {Digital competence in teaching can be understood as the set of skills, attitudes and abilities
to use technologies critically and creatively, both in the personal and professional environment.
Likewise, it is one of the eight key competencies for lifelong learning. In this paper, in line with
the Common Digital Competence Framework (DigComp), we analyze the self-perception of teacher
trainees’ digital competence to communicate and collaborate with other people. Additionally, we
state the existence of statistically significant differences from a gender perspective (women/men).
In this sense, we have carried out non-experimental quantitative research that has a descriptive
nature. To this end, we used a questionnaire as an instrument for collecting information, with a total
sample of 698 pre-service teachers in Andalusia (Spain). The results show that teacher trainees have
an intermediate level in terms of their abilities to communicate and collaborate with other people
through digital technologies. At the same time, significant differences are highlighted regarding
participants’ gender, which implies that gender can still be considered a limitation in the use of ICTs,
thereby decreasing participants’ digital competence. Finally, this study sheds light on the need to
improve future teachers’ digital competence.},
